For the past few weeks, I have sat and watched my brother find himself totally immersed in old world beer, specifically beer brewed with Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. He would get up early, even on his days off, so that he could brew a pot of coffee, watch the sun come up, and fall deeper and deeper in love. He was infatuated. He was giddy. He took so many pages of notes that I feel he may be re-writing the book. And this excitement and enthusiasm has flowed into other aspects of his life as well. I watched him take an early Saturday morning bike rode, solo; something I have never known him to do. He is brainstorming. He is scheming. Has it changed his life? Most certainly. Will this apply to BSB? Only the future will tell. I would suggest staying tuned. I would also suggest picking up a book. You just never know what it might awaken inside you!
